Suriname to Guinea-Bissau: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Planning a trip from Suriname to Guinea-Bissau? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and Guinea-Bissau is no exception.

Since Suriname and Guinea-Bissau both support Type C plugs, you can use your chargers and appliances without a travel adapter. One less thing to worry about.

Be aware that Suriname runs on 120V at 220V, while Guinea-Bissau uses 220V at 50Hz. This voltage difference matters for appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, and electric shavers that aren't dual-voltage. Check the label on your devices. If it says "100-240V," you're fine. Otherwise, you'll need a voltage converter.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.
